So I'm not African Hebrew Yisraelite's explain to me a King Melek favored By Yahuah The word of יהוה that came to Hoshĕa son of Be’ĕri, in the days of Uzziyah, Yotham, Aḥaz, and Ḥizqiyah, sovereigns of Yehuḏah, and in the days of Yaroḇ‛am son of Yo’ash, sovereign of Yisra’ĕl. (Hosea 1:1 [TS1998]) has a ancient Nile valley seal that originates in the ancient empires of Kush this Seal of King of Yahudah Ḥizqiyah 2nd temple Era...please learn your roots and it ain't in kemet or moorish science but it's not in religion or distorted replacement theology.

From roughly 2000 BC, the symbol spread to the Levant and to Mesopotamia. It appears in reliefs with Assyrian rulers and in Hieroglyphic Anatolian as a symbol for royalty, transcribed into Latin as SOL SUUS (literally, "his own self, the Sun", i.e., "His Majesty").

From ca. the 8th century BC, the winged solar disk appears on Hebrew seals connected to the royal house of the Kingdom of Judah. Many of these are seals and jar handles from Hezekiah's reign, together with the inscription l'melekh ("belonging to the king").[1] Typically, Hezekiah's royal seals feature two downward-pointing wings and six rays emanating from the central sun disk, and some are flanked on either side with the Egyptian ankh ("key of life") symbol.[1] Prior to this, there are examples from the seals of servants of king Ahaz and of king Uzziah.[2]

Compare also Malachi 4:2, referring to a winged "Sun of righteousness",

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings... (KJV)

The symbol evolved into the Faravahar (the "visual aspect of Ahura Mazda") in Zoroastrian Persia.

General Flynn, who served in the US Army for more than 30 years, was stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq from 2004 to 2007. He said he regretted his role in the Iraq war and said the terrorist attacks on 9/11 led the US to create disastrous military polices. The US invaded Iraq after administration officials – including President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and Secretary of State Colin Powell – presented false intelligence about Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction program and alleged links to Al-Qaeda.

THE TIME OF ISRAEL Leaked report: Israel acknowledges Jews in fact Khazars; Secret plan for reverse migration to Ukraine The Khazar Empire, from M. J-H. Schnitzler’s map of The Empire of Charlemagne and that of the Arabs, (Strasbourg, 1857)

Arabs have long cited the Khazar hypothesis in attempts to deny a Jewish historical claim to the land of Israel. During the UN debate over Palestine Partition, Chaim Weizmann responded, sarcastically: “lt is very strange. All my life I have been a Jew, felt like a Jew, and I now learn that I am a Khazar.” In a more folksy vein, Prime Minister Golda Meir famously said: “Khazar, Schmazar. There is no Khazar people. I knew no Khazars In Kiev. Or Milwaukee. Show me these Khazars of whom you speak.”

Contrarian Hungarian ex-communist and scientist Arthur Koestler brought the Khazar hypothesis to a wider audience with The Thirteenth Tribe (1976), in the hope that disproving a common Jewish “racial” identity would end antisemitism. Clearly, that hope has not been fulfilled. Most recently, left-wing Israeli historian Shlomo Sand’s The Invention of the Jewish People took Koestler’s thesis in a direction he had not intended, arguing that because Jews were a religious community descended from converts they do not constitute a nation or need a state of their own. Scientists, however, dismissed the Khazar hypothesis because the genetic evidence did not add up. Until now. In 2012, Israeli researcher Eran Elhaik published a study claiming to prove that Khazar ancestry is the single largest element in the Ashkenazi gene pool. Sand declared himself vindicated, and progressive organs such as Haaretz and The Forward trumpeted the results.

Israel seems finally to have thrown in the towel. A blue-ribbon team of scholars from leading research institutions and museums has just issued a secret report to the government, acknowledging that European Jews are in fact Khazars. (Whether this would result in yet another proposal to revise the words to “Hatikvah” remains to be seen.) At first sight, this would seem to be the worst possible news, given the Prime Minister’s relentless insistence on the need for Palestinian recognition of Israel as a “Jewish state” and the stagnation of the peace talks. But others have underestimated him at their peril. An aide quipped, when life hands you an etrog, you build a sukkah.

Speaking off the record, he explained, “We first thought that admitting we are really Khazars was one way to get around Abbas’s insistence that no Jew can remain in a Palestinian state. Maybe we were grasping at straws. But when he refused to accept that, it forced us to think about more creative solutions. The Ukrainian invitation for the Jews to return was a godsend. Relocating all the settlers within Israel in a short time would be difficult for reasons of logistics and economics. We certainly don’t want another fashlan like the expulsion of the settlers in the Gaza Hitnatkut [disengagement].

“We’re not talking about all the Ashkenazi Jews going back to Ukraine. Obviously that is not practical.

Speaking on deep background, a well-placed source in intelligence circles said: “We’re not talking about all the Ashkenazi Jews going back to Ukraine. Obviously that is not practical. The press as usual exaggerates and sensationalizes; this is why we need military censorship.”

Khazaria 2.0?

All Jews who wish to return would be welcomed back without condition as citizens, the more so if they take part in the promised infusion of massive Israeli military assistance, including troops, equipment, and construction of new bases. If the initial transfer works, other West Bank settlers would be encouraged to relocate to Ukraine, as well. After Ukraine, bolstered by this support, reestablishes control over all its territory, the current Autonomous Republic of Crimea would once again become an autonomous Jewish domain. The small-scale successor to the medieval empire of Khazaria (as the peninsula, too, was once known) would be called, in Yiddish, Chazerai.

the Khazar Empire, map of Europe in the Age of Charles the Great, from Karl von Spruner, _Historisch-geographischer Hand-Atlas_ (Gotha, 1854)

the Khazars did not have to live within ‘Auschwitz borders.’”

“As you know,” the spokesman continued, “the Prime Minister has said time and again: we are a proud and ancient people whose history here goes back 4,000 years. The same is true of the Khazars: just back in Europe and not quite as long. But look at the map: the Khazars did not have to live within ‘Auschwitz borders.’”

no “Auschwitz borders”: the great extent of the Khazar Empire (pink, at right) is readily apparent in this map of Europe circa 800, by Monin (Paris, 1841). Compare with Charlemagne’s empire (pink, at left)

“As the Prime Minister has said, no one will tell Jews where they may or may not live on the historic territory of their existence as a sovereign people. He is willing to make painful sacrifices for peace, even if that means giving up part of our biblical homeland in Judea and Samaria. But then you have to expect us to exercise our historical rights somewhere else. We decided this will be on the shores of the Black Sea, where we were an autochthonous people for more than 2000 years. Even the great non-Zionist historian Simon Dubnow said we had the right to colonize Crimea. It’s in all the history books. You can look it up.”

“We’d like to think of it as sort of a homeland-away-from-home,” added the anonymous intelligence source. “Or the original one,” he said with a wink. “After all, Herzl wrote about the Old-New Land, didn’t he? And the transition shouldn’t be too difficult for the settlers because, you know, they’ll still get to feel as if they are pioneers: experience danger, construct new housing, carry weapons. The women can continue to wear scarves on their heads, and the food won’t be very different from what they already eat.”

In retrospect, we should have seen this coming, said a venerable State Department Arabist, ticking off the signs on his fingers: a little-noticed report that Russia was cracking down on Israeli smuggling of Khazar artifacts, the decisions of both Spain and Portugal to give citizenship to descendants of their expelled Jews, as well as evidence that former IDF soldiers were already leading militias in support of the Ukrainian government. And now, also maybe the possibility that the missing Malaysian jet was diverted to Central Asia.

A veteran Middle East journalist said: “It’s problematic, but in a perverse way, brilliant. In one fell swoop, Bibi has managed to confound friend and foe alike. He’s put the ball back in the Palestinians’ court and relieved the pressure from the Americans without actually making any real concessions. Meanwhile, by lining up with the Syrian rebels and Ukraine, as well as Georgia and Azerbaijan, he compensates for the loss of the Turkish alliance and puts pressure on both Assad and Iran. And the new Cypriot-Israeli gas deal props up Ukraine and weakens the economic leverage of both the Russians and the Gulf oil states. Just brilliant.”

Reactions from around the world

Given the confluence of the weekend and the Purim and Saint Patrick’s Day holidays, reporters scrambled to get responses. Reactions from around the world trickled in.

• Members of the YESHA Council of settlers, some of them evidently the worse for wear after too much festival slivovitz, were caught completely off-guard. Always wary of Netanyahu, whom they regard as a slick opportunist rather than reliable ideological ally, they refused to comment until they had further assessed the situation.

Most of the hastily offered reactions fell into the predictable categories.

• Right-wing antisemitic groups pounced on the story as vindication of their conspiracy theories, claiming that this was the culmination of the Jews’ centuries-old plan to avenge the defeat of Khazaria by the Russians in the Middle Ages, a reprise of Israel’s support for Georgia in 2008. “Jews have memories as long as their noses,” one declared.

a continuum of conquest and cruelty?

• From Ramallah, a Fatah spokesman said the offer was a start but did not go nearly far enough toward satisfying Palestinian demands. Holding up an image of a Khazar warrior from an archaeological artifact, he explained:

There is a continuum of conquest and cruelty. It’s very simple, genetics does not lie. We see the results today: the Zionist regime and brutal Occupation Forces are descended from warlike barbarians. Palestinians are descended from peaceful pastoralists, in fact, from the ancient Israelites that you have falsely claimed as your ancestors. By the way, it is not true, however, that your ancestors ever had a temple in Jerusalem.

Boy, are our faces red. We were caught flat-footed and thought that the return to Spain and Portugal was the real story. Obviously, that was an impeccably planned and clever feint to distract attention from the coming revolution in Ukraine. Nicely played, Mossad.

• Prolific blogger Richard Sliverstein, whose knowledge of Jewish culture and uncanny ability to ferret out military secrets regularly provoke astonishment even among his critics, commented:

Frankly, I’m surprised that my Mossad sources did not get this story to me first. But I’ve been up against a deadline for an essay on the kabbalistic significance of sesame seeds, the main ingredient in hummus, so I haven’t caught up on my email. But, do I feel vindicated? Well, yes, but it’s scant satisfaction. I’ve been saying for years that the Jews are descended from Mongol-Tatar Khazars, but it has barely made a dent in the propaganda armor of these Zionist hasbaroid dolts.

• An official of a leading human-rights NGO said:

Evacuating illegal settlements must be a part of any peace deal, but first forcing settlers to leave Palestine and then resettling them in Ukraine may be a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. We’ll see what the ICC has to say about this. And if they think they can be even more trigger-happy in Ukraine than the West Bank, they have another thing coming.

We reject the Zionist state, which is illegitimate until Mashiach comes. We don’t care where we live as long as we can study the Torah and obey its commandments in full. However, we refuse to serve in the military there as well as here. And—we also want subsidies. That is G-d’s will.

• The spokeswoman for a delegation of Episcopalian peace activists, reached after the Christ at the Checkpoint conference in Bethlehem, said, with tears in her eyes:

We applaud this consistency of principle. If only all Jews would think like Menuchem Yontef—in fact, I’d like to call them “Menuchem Yontef Jews”: “M. Y. Jews,” for short—then antisemitism would disappear and members of all three Abrahamic faiths would again live together peacefully here as they did before the advent of Zionism. The nation-state is a relic of the nineteenth century, which has caused untold suffering. The most urgent task for world peace is the immediate creation of a free and sovereign Palestine.

• Noted academic and theorist Judith Buntler mused:

It may seem like a paradox to establish alterity or ‘interruption’ at the heart of ethical relations. But to know that we have first to consider what such terms mean. One might argue that the distinctive trait of Khazarian identity is that it is interrupted by alterity, that the relation to the gentile defines not only its diasporic situation, but one of its most fundamental ethical relations. Although such a statement may well be true (meaning that it belongs to a set of statements that are true), it manages to reserve alterity as a predicate of a prior subject. The relation to alterity becomes one predicate of ‘being Khazarian.’ It is quite another thing to understand that very relationship as challenging the idea of ‘Khazarian’ as a static sort of being, one that is adequately described as a subject. . . . coexistence projects can only begin with the dismantling of political Zionism.

not the “two-state solution” they expected?

• Anti-Israel BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) leader Ali Abubinomial put it more simply. Pounding his desk, he fumed, “So, Israel and Khazaria? This is what the Zionists mean by a ‘two-state solution’?! Do the math! Has no one read my book?”

• Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) called an emergency meeting to establish ties with the Pecheneg Liberation Organization (PLO), saying, “Pechenegs should not pay the price for European antisemitism.” The new solidarity group, “Students for Pechenegs in Ukraine” (SPUK), proclaimed as its motto: “From the Black to the Caspian Sea, We’re Gonna Find Somebody to Free!”

• For his part, peace activist and former East Jerusalem administrator Myron Benvenuti responded with equanimity: “I’ve got nothing to worry about: I’m Sephardic and my family has lived here for centuries. Anyway, if I have to go somewhere else, it’s going to be Spain, not Ukraine: more sunshine, less gunfire.”

The consensus of the broad majority of “Middle Israel,” which feels that Netanyahu is not doing enough for peace but also questions the sincerity of the Palestinians, is skeptical and despairing. One woman said, in frustration: We all long for an agreement but just cannot see how to achieve it. For now, all we can see is this Chazerai.

Update March 17:

Latest reports, including Vladimir Putin’s recognition of Crimea as a “sovereign and independent state,” and the estimate that relocation of Israeli settlers in any peace agreement would cost $10 billion, confirm the details of the above story. Ed.

PRAIRIE VIEW, Tex. — When Sandra Bland enrolled in 2005 at Prairie View A&M University, the historically black institution founded here almost 140 years ago, its students were still waging a civil rights war that had ended elsewhere decades before: a legal battle, against white Waller County officials, for the right to vote in the place they lived.

It took years and a federal court order, but the students won. When Ms. Bland returned here the morning of July 9, driving 16 hours from Chicago to interview for a job at her alma mater, the Justice Department had abandoned its court-ordered oversight of students’ voter registration, the campus had its own polling place, and the county had, in one key respect, passed a racial milestone.

Four days later, Ms. Bland was dead in a county jail cell after a routine traffic stop by a state trooper escalated into a physical confrontation not 500 yards from the university’s entrance. And any talk of milestones gave way to questions about whether the county’s checkered history of race relations had set the stage for a tragedy that the authorities acknowledge might never have happened had they followed their own rules.

Prairie View now joins a list of places — Ferguson, Mo., Baltimore, Cleveland, New York and others — where African-Americans have died after encounters with the police, and where assumptions about progress in race relations have been challenged, if not dashed. But here, in a county where most blacks and whites are still buried in separate cemeteries, those assumptions have been especially shaky.

“The caste system still exists here,” said LaVaughn Mosley, a former counselor at Prairie View A&M who had been friends with Ms. Bland since her undergraduate days. “There is a whole race of people here who are treated like second-class citizens.”

Local officials mostly disagree.

“We are not a bunch of backwoods, red-necked racists,” said County Judge Carbett J. Duhon III, the region’s chief executive officer, who is known as Trey and is white. “Far from it.”

Some African-American elected officials also insist that the vestiges of racism are being addressed.

“It’s not the Waller County of the ’60s and ’70s,” said Mayor Michael S. Wolfe Sr., the third black mayor of Hempstead, the county seat. “Things have changed tremendously.”

But at a time when deaths of African-Americans after confrontations with law enforcement already have the nation on tenterhooks, the county’s legacy of racial disparities has only catalyzed suspicions about almost everything that happened to Ms. Bland, a 28-year-old aspiring researcher who had proclaimed solidarity with the movement against racial bias in law enforcement.

Here and across the country, her last days — from the moment the trooper pulled her over on July 10 for failing to signal a lane change to her death by hanging in the jail, ruled a suicide — are being exhaustively parsed for evidence of bias. Ms. Bland’s family is challenging the suicide finding.

Johnie Jones, who was president of the Prairie View A&M student body in 2009 and fought for voting rights, has followed the news with sorrow and dismay.

“It just blew my mind that we were still in that same place and haven’t really moved forward,” said Mr. Jones, who graduated with Ms. Bland that year and described her as smart, generous and outspoken. “How could we still be dealing with these issues in 2015?”

Waller County, about an hour northwest of ever-growing Houston, is home to roughly 47,000 residents, a fourth of them African-American. It was a haven for freed slaves during Reconstruction, but that soon changed: One study by the Equal Justice Initiative, a nonprofit advocacy group, suggests that blacks were subsequently lynched here more frequently than in almost any other county in the state.

In the last decade or so, disputes have erupted over student voting rights, the neglect of black cemeteries, a white mayor’s refusal to attend a parade marking the liberation of slaves at the end of the Civil War and the firing of a police chief, later twice elected sheriff, after complaints about police misconduct against black residents.

Graphic: Assessing the Legality of Sandra Bland’s Arrest

Prairie View A&M, established in 1876 as the Alta Vista Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas for Colored Youths, is the county’s economic anchor and, many contend, its most progressive force. The university, serving 8,000 students and known for research and community service, is immaculately tended.

But the surrounding community of Prairie View, incorporated in 1969 and always headed by a black mayor, is bereft of the stores, lodging and restaurants of a typical college town. Home to about 5,800 residents and nearly 90 percent black, it feels like the forgotten stepsister of the rural county’s other, whiter towns.

Drug dealers are being blamed for several recent murders here, leading some people to call for help for the town’s seven-officer police force. But when he stopped Ms. Bland, State Trooper Brian T. Encinia, 30, was apparently on a routine patrol of University Drive, a sleepy state road that leads from the highway to Prairie View A&M’s entrance.

Trooper Encinia, a white officer who joined the force 19 months ago, first pulled over a university student, issuing a polite warning to watch the speed limit, before making a U-turn and trailing Ms. Bland. The stop quickly became confrontational, ending with Ms. Bland in the back of a police car headed for jail, facing a felony charge of assaulting a public officer.

Questions Still Swirling Around the Death of Sandra Bland

No official here is defending the trooper’s behavior: After Ms. Bland refused to extinguish her cigarette, he ordered her out of her car, threatened her with a stun gun and handcuffed her. Elton R. Mathis, the county’s district attorney, said he was “not happy” about what he had seen on the videotape from the trooper’s dashboard camera. Mr. Wolfe, the Hempstead mayor, said he was “very, very upset” by it. The State Department of Public Safety has said the trooper violated protocol. An inquiry is underway.

Herschel C. Smith, the elected constable whose precinct includes Prairie View, said the encounter underscored the need to overhaul the culture of how law enforcement officers treat minorities, a point he said he had made repeatedly to his counterparts here.

Mr. Smith, who is black, recalled that even he had been pulled over this spring and detained for 45 minutes by a police officer from Hempstead who ran his license plate through a computer database, even though he was wearing his uniform at the time.

“How humiliating is that for an elected official?” he said. “They have no respect, even when we do get elected. So I know how Sandy Bland felt.”

Document: Autopsy of Sandra Bland

Handcuffed, Ms. Bland was driven about 10 minutes to Hempstead and the Waller County jail, run by Sheriff R. Glenn Smith, a controversial figure since his days as Hempstead’s police chief. A decade ago, Hempstead’s only full-time black police officer sued, alleging that Chief Smith had dismissed him on a trumped-up charge after he complained about his supervisor’s racial slurs. An African-American couple also sued, alleging that Chief Smith had turned them away when they reported that a white man had assaulted their 7-year-old son at Pee-Wee football practice.

Those suits were dismissed, but in 2007 city officials suspended Chief Smith after he pushed a black man who he said had spit on him in the street. The next year, after complaints about officers who executed faulty warrants against black residents and searched a young black’s man underwear in public, he was fired.

Just months later, he was elected sheriff with two-thirds of the vote, making him one of the county’s most powerful officials. He was accused of racism as police chief, Sheriff Smith said in an interview, “but racism was not what was going on.”

“I am not a racist, nor have I ever been,” he added.

By The New York Times

Yet the criticism has continued. Detractors charge that the sheriff’s chain of command is lily-white; while Sheriff Smith said he could not immediately give a racial breakdown of his 85-member staff, one of his four top deputies is black. On the morning that Ms. Bland died, he said, all three jailers on duty were black or Hispanic.

He acknowledges the jail’s failures to protect Ms. Bland by not placing her on a suicide watch, not checking on her in person and leaving her with a plastic trash bag that became the makeshift noose from which she was found hanging. Those appear to reflect a more general pattern; state inspectors also cited failings in 2012 when a white inmate hanged himself with a bedsheet.

Whether Ms. Bland’s treatment was criminally negligent is now up to Mr. Mathis, the county district attorney for nine years.

In an interview and at nationally broadcast news conferences, Mr. Mathis, who is white, has cast himself as a refreshing contrast to Waller County’s less savory racial past. Whereas one of his predecessors wrongly insisted in 2004 that the black students at Prairie View A&M had to return to their counties to vote, he said he had helped ensure officials carried out a 2008 federal consent decree prohibiting them from unfairly rejecting voter registration forms or erecting other specious obstacles to voting.

“A lot of that stuff they say about Waller County is true,” he said last week. “I grew up here.” But he insisted, “There is a new generation in control in Waller County, a more progressive generation.”

Still, when the Rev. Walter Pendleton, an activist African-American preacher in the county, accused Mr. Mathis in a May 2014 text message of mollycoddling a white former official who got into trouble, Mr. Mathis’s response seemed almost reminiscent of an earlier era.

Texting back in a message laced with vulgarity, he said the 66-year-old preacher was “too stupid to know” the meaning of the term selective prosecution. Mr. Mathis urged him to “jump off a high cliff.”

“Keep talking,” he wrote. “When I talk, people will listen.” Mr. Mathis later said he had sent the messages in anger.

At Prairie View A&M, students taking summer classes now travel down University Drive more warily, with a makeshift roadside memorial as a reminder of Ms. Bland’s experience.

“We don’t even know what society we live in anymore,” said Chad Wilkinson, a 20-year-old junior from Nassau, the Bahamas, who is majoring in health. “We thought we were so safe until it happened.

“Now everyone is on guard, and saying, ‘Who could be next?’ You don’t know who’s going to be next. It could be that guy. It could be anybody.”
